I HAVE lately heard of the death of a young woman which I must relate. On a Friday morning the wretched girl in great distress cried out, “I know that I am death-struck, and damned to all eternity; the devil has told me so, and that he will drag me to endless torments at six o'clock, to the pit prepared for me! “Her agonies were inexpressible, and truly heartrending, so that even her companions, whom she earnestly exhorted to repent, and leave their wicked ways, were alarmed and much affected, yet knew not how to meet her need; they knew not JESUS, who is the source of every true comfort, as meeting the sinner's need; they knew not that His BLOOD CLEANSETH FROM ALL SIN (1 John 1:77But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (1 John 1:7)). 1JO 1:77But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (1 John 1:7)
The poor, miserable girl, with screams of horror, exclaimed, “Can nothing save me?
Is there no escape? "... She several times jumped out of bed screaming, and in the most dreadful manner exclaimed, “You shall not have me yet; it is not six o'clock." She continued raving thus till the hour she had so often named: the clock struck six, and she expired. H. H. S.
